Based on the 1993 film Grumpy Old Men by Mark Stephen Johnson starring Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau and Ann Margaret, the 2018 musical incorporates funny one-liners and a lighthearted musical score with a book by Dan Remmes, score by Neil Berg and lyrics by Nick Meglin. Grumpy Old Men: The Musical tells the story of Max and John, two feuding neighbors who have spent most of their lives at odds with each other.
Older now, they know they are losing their vitality, facing retirement issues and wondering whether they will ever experience another spark of romance or excitement. Their rivalry takes a comedic turn when Ariel, a stunning and charismatic new neighbor, moves in across the street. As romantic rivals, Max and John engage in a series of hilarious antics before discovering a heartwarming resolution to their long-standing differences.

GUTENBERG: THE MUSICAL – STARRING LARRY ALEXANDER & ADOLPHO BLAIRE
February 5-15, 2026
Gutenberg: The Musical is a comedic, fast-paced, two-man show abounding with energy. Written and composed by Scott Brown with Anthony King, this Tony-nominated Best Musical follows Bud (Adolpho Blaire) and Doug (Larry Alexander) as theatre writers and composers who try to sell a hilariously inaccurate musical about Johannes Gutenberg, the inventor of the printing press, to potential investors in a backers’ audition.
Bud and Doug sing all the songs and play every role in their self-proclaimed “next great American musical.” Brimming with enthusiasm, they narrate the story to the audience. Armed with only elementary research, Bud and Doug deliver a chaotic yet endearing performance with boundless ambition, hoping to secure the funding that will finally bring their self-proclaimed masterpiece to life.
